Well, then...

Just got an email comment on my second UNCLE slash story, written, oh, about 15 years ago. It included the following gem:

"You have a knack for plot, and your dialogue isn't bad. :) Practice makes perfect, ne?"

I am soooo tempted to send a snarky reply, but think I shall settle for amused silence.

(BTW, I'm not saying the story's a gem. Those early UNCLE stories were a bit rough. But, man, I think my dialogue is better than not bad. *g*)

I held off on reading Pros fanfic for a couple of years until I could finally track the episodes down. (This was in the late '80s/early '90s, and finding Brit shows that didn't air over here was a nightmare.) And I'll never tackle a fandom until I'm familiar/comfortable with the canon, and have read a heck of a lot of fic in the fandom.

Alas, that definitely seems to be an attitude whose time is fading, in some areas of fandom, anyway.

I think not being able to tell Sam from Gene is actually worse that not being able to tell Bodie from Doyle. Marginally, anyway.

I completely agree. Bodie and Doyle are almost twins in comparison to Sam and Gene. *g*
